Titles pretty much tells the problem. Working on a Windows Server 2003 platform and when in safe mode, computer works fine. When I reboot into normal operation mode the Explorer.exe keeps restarting itself. I have tried several spyware searches to include spybot, adaware, and used Norton Antivirus search as well. The initial spybot and adaware search found several problem and cleared them (supposedly), but the explorer.exe is still restarting itself. Any help you may be able to provide would help out tremendously. Thank you for your time. Here is a log file of a scan done in safe mode.

I taher think these are the baddies. Can you delete them in safe mode?

The Registry entries can be removed by a registry cleaner after you've deleted these files.

I hope it's as simple as that.

Before you delete them, have a thought as to how they might have got there and let us have those thoughts.

I hope the Navy is safe!

Thank you very much. That worked. Have a nice day

Glad it's OK. Do please mark the thread as SOLVED.
